Bear Problems in Fort Frances


Bears are becoming a nuisance for some residents in Fort Frances.

By-law enforcement officer Arlene Brynes says the number of calls received has picked up in recent days.

There have been 13 reported sightings and at least four bears were captured and relocated outside the town.

Brynes says one bear had to be killed because it suffered injuries believed to have come from being hit by a vehicle.
